Playing Across the Nation’s Capital
DC Soccer Club is proud to serve families across the District, making use of more than 50 fields each season for practices, games, and programs. From the historic parks of Northwest DC to vibrant recreation centers in Northeast and the Fields at RFK, our footprint reflects the strength, diversity, and unity of our community.
While operating in an urban environment presents unique challenges — limited field space, high demand, and the need for collaboration across multiple agencies — it also allows us to bring the game closer to neighborhoods and schools throughout the city. We work every day to balance access, safety, and quality while ensuring all DCSC players have the opportunity to learn and play the game they love.
Programs by Location
DC Soccer Club uses fields throughout the District through partnerships with
DPR, DCPS, private schools, and community organizations. Each season, field assignments for programs may vary based on permit allocations, school schedules, and maintenance needs, but the club consistently maintains access to many of the city’s premier athletic facilities to support our players and programs.
- Pre-Travel Academy, Clinics, and Camps
These programs are offered in both NW DC and NE DC, helping families choose a general training area more convenient to where they live. This setup supports accessibility and balanced participation citywide. - Travel Program
Training locations and practice schedules for teams in our Travel Program depend on age group, team level, coach scheduling, and the field permits allocated to the club each season. Since Travel teams are formed based on competitive level and player placement—and may include players from across the District—teams are not planned to be neighborhood based, and families should anticipate practices taking place at various locations throughout DC. - Recreational League
The Rec League is neighborhood-based; teams are formed based on schools and friend requests, and coaches select practice locations near their players (based on available permits). League games are centralized each season at select fields to create a balanced and well-organized weekend schedule. - Tots Soccer
Our Tots program is offered in selected areas across the city, determined by where we have consistent access to safe and age-appropriate fields.
